The Sky Piercer was quiet.
Aegis lay on the meditation platform at the peak, her head resting in Rosanna's lap, staring up at the night sky through the open ceiling. The aether density up here was thick enough that she could feel it on her skin, a faint hum in her bones, like standing next to a massive bell that had just been struck. Rosanna's fingers ran through her hair absently, her purple eyes looking out over Rosevale's skyline, the ghostly glow of her form casting soft light across the stone floor.
Aegis had just finished telling her everything. The Umbral Blade's plan, the convergence bomb, the Starlight Ball, the target list, all of it. She'd talked for twenty minutes straight without stopping, and now the silence was heavy.
"A convergence bomb," Rosanna said quietly.
"Yeah."
"At the Starlight Ball."
"Mhm."
"Targeting every Great House leader, the royal family, and the church officials in attendance."
"That's the gist of it."
